The NEED OF PATIENcE.-If it 10
true that for many only little ale
Walton is possible, little more JUS
tice, a little better apportionment Of
such good as they can comprehend, it
is also true that nething better is
within the reach OF all. How then
shall we define it, and what possibility
Of alteration for either lives OF condi-
tions lies before u?
Nothing that can he Of instant
growth, and here lies the chief dis
colragement, since, as a people, we
demand instantaneousness, and would
have seen, flowers and fruit at the
SINE moment Admit patience, ca
pacity to wait and to work while
waiting as the first Of the equation
and the rest arrange themselves.
For the greater part of social re-
formers cooperation has stood as the
initial and most essential step as the
fruit that could be plucked full grown,
end experience in England would
seem to have demonstrated the belief
as true.
1t is the American inability to wait
that has proved it untrue for us, and
until very lately made failure our
only record; but there is deeper
than a merely temperamental one.
The abolition of the apprentice system,
brought about by the greed Of master
and men alike, has abolished training
and slow, steady preparation for any
trade. An American has been regard
ell as quick enough and keen enough
TO take in the essential features OF
calling. as it We're, at a glance, and
apprenticeship has been taken as prac-
tinally an insult to national intelli-
gence. Law has kept peace with such
conviction, and thus the door has
been shut in the face of all learners,
and foreigners have supplied our
skilled workmen and workwomen.
The groundwork of any better order
lies, if not in a return to the appren-
tice system, then in training from
the beginning which will give to eye
and hand the utmost power Of which
they are capable.-Hcln, Can,JcU n

FORG0T TO "BELLER. An unde-
nIonstrative husband caused his wife
some ehagrin on board train recent
Iy. A Chicago journal says that in a
railroad accident near that city q wo-
man was shaken very severely and
could not speak for some time, al
though conscious of what was taking
place around her. Some Of the pas
sengers thought she was dead. Her
husband thought so too, but instead
of giving way to unavailable grief be
few around doing all be could for his
wife's recovery. When she was pro.
nounced out Of danger she said, re-
proachfully
'Jonn"
Well, Samanthy !?

they all thought | was dead
Well, Samanty, said john, in some
confusion, 'ye see was flying around
trying to bring ye to. | didn't have
no time to beler.'
Yes, John, said the old lady, fee
bly,, with suggestion OF tears IN her
voice, but couldn't ye heller little
bit now, John, jest for the looks of
things.
Why, Samanthy, if ! was to heller

WHERE TIE TROUBLE Is.-"Oh,
how little We foolish women know

pT-It is socially dangerous TO ex.
press such an opinion, said on old
man, "but did you ever notice that
the most successful men in nearly all
departments of life are reformed
drunkards p IL have noticed that a
great many of them are, some one
replied, but that Is no argument in
favor Of intemperance" "Oh, no;
but on the contrary, it is an argument
in favor of reformation" But unless
a man has been a drunkard how can
he reform" I'VE won't go into an
argument Of the finer points of the
case. | make the assertion that the
most successful men in business, law
and literature, are reformed drunkards.
1t seems that when a man drinks I'm.
til he becomes thoroughly convinced
that unless he changes his course he
will never amount to anything, he is
moved by power which sober men
never feel, and that he calls to his aid
an ability which men who have al,
ways been temperate cannot summon.
He has to built up his character and
his business at the same time; and
building up one seems to help the
other. Now there was Horace Greedy
